Future films will include The Three Musketeers in 3D, TheIdes of March and the final installments of The Twilight Saga—Breaking Dawn 1 and 2.
Simon Calver, CEO of LOVEFiLM, said, "Content producers and distributors are increasingly choosing to make LOVEFiLM the home for their content in the U.K. We are entirely focused on delivering the best possible experience to our members who are passionate about films and TV series. Offering eOne’s excellent catalogue and great new films exclusively to LOVEFiLM’s customers is exciting and eOne is an ideal partner. This is in line with our strategy of LOVEFiLM having the best content available across many different devices and I am so excited that LOVEFiLM will be the only place that film fans can watch movies such as The Twilight Saga: Eclipse from now on at no extra cost to their premium subscription."
